Back on September 11, 2011, I wrote a semi-tribute story for 9/11. From this story came a series of oneshots that I called Calendar Oneshots. They were oneshots I released on specific days to discuss themes prevalent on those days. I was supposed to go a full year, but I ended up stopping in I think it was December. This is the complete collection of Calendar Oneshots through the first year. After every story, there's a section that I call the Writer's Block, which is just a brief commentary. Unfortunately, I lost a lot of the files, so I'll be adding chapters as I recover them.

My Soul Cries Out For Justice
Original Release: September 11, 2011

AN: I am in no way trying to mock and disrespect 9/11.

Ten years. That's how long it's been.

I watch a plane careens headlong into the World Trade Center. It takes out a whole chunk of the massive skyscraper, leaving the rest in flames. I can hear people crying on the streets below.

But wait. They don't truly understand suffering yet. At least that's what those maniacs thought when they hit the second tower.

People jumping out of the burning craters, their final act of free will a choice of death.

How could this happen? Maybe a better question to ask would be what next? Or maybe they should just run before they find out. But they stop and stare.

The buildings collapse. A wave of debris flows down the street, chasing and overtaking the fleeing onlookers.

In a moment, the terrorists proved that they had the best education system. In that moment, they taught the world one of the most fundamental truths.

Everything burns.

It's a lesson that can only be learned through experience.

She's going to die, Tails!

I know.

When all this was over, you said you would come and live with us!

I speak from experience.

Tails, do you want her sacrifice to be useless?

And my soul cries out for justice.

Cosmo, I love you!

Seven years. That's how long it's been.

"Dear Agony"
Breaking Benjamin

I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt

Carry me to heaven's arms
Light the way and let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began

And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Dear Agony

Suddenly the lights go out
Let forever drag me down
I will fight for one last breath
I will fight until the end

And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?

Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

Leave me alone
God let me go
I'm blue and cold
Black sky will burn

Love pull me down
Hate lift me up
Just turn around
There's nothing left

Somewhere far beyond this world
I feel nothing anymore

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?

Don't bury me
Faceless enemy
I'm so sorry
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony

I feel nothing anymore

Again, I mean no disrespect. Please leave your reviews, whether you thought it was crap or the best thing since sliced bread. Just don't curse me out.

God bless us, every one!

Writer's Block

I hardly even want to talk about this one. It's totally horrendous, probably because I realized at around 10 PM that I was going to go through 9/11 without even really noticing. I panicked, threw something on Word, and posted it. Although, I guess it's better to remember like this than to not remember at all. And why are the lyrics to Dear Agony on here? Because I had just recently heard it for the first time and fallen in love with it...and it pushed the word count up to 518.
